We Traveled To Croatia To Find Game Of Thrones Filming Locations In Real-Life

If you are a fan of something, sometimes you have to turn on the “hardcore mode” – just like my husband and I. This summer in Croatia, we traced the filming locations of popular TV series “Game of Thrones”.

Some places were really easy to find – Dubrovnik, for example, is just like one huge filming set. But other spots (like streets in Split) we found either after a looong search or just stumbled upon by an accident. I want to share the result of our “scene hunt” hoping that it will inspire others to do this same!

Fort Lovrijenac (Dubrovnik) – Red Keep (King’s Landing)

Still Not Finding My Dragons…

Baroque Staircase (Dubrovnik) Becomes the Stairs to the Great Sept of Baelor (King’s Landing)

What do you think ?

I doubt they will ever be needing to film in Serbia. Two reasons: 1) no one is lobbying to promote usable locations and 2) usually they do not need to change winning formula, once they have business connections where you started filming, it is way easier just to extend deals rather than making new ones. That is why they talked so much about new location they got in Spain (if I am not mistaken).

Well, my comment wasn't specifically aimed at Serbia but at ex-Yu countries. For example there was an article about the possibility of filming in Macedonia, Ohrid so It was aimed at that info.
But of course I would love it if they could film some parts of GoT in Serbia like Golubav, Smederevo fortress, Belgrade fortress, Manasija monastery, Subotica Synagogue (maybe Highgarden?) ext.
But I get you're point, you are almost 100% right but there is one big thing you forgot to tell, those are financial incentives that Serbia didn't have (the government has adopted the new regulations for financial incentives few months ago, but it still hasn't had any effects).
